DUN STRESS HAHA.

If you are checking this out means you are free/not mugging/taking a break from mugging/feel like checking this out. Whatever the reasons, pls dedicate the next 15 minutes(or so) of ur time and read on!! =)

08/08/09 marks a day so special that none of us will forget. How could we? Its one day before national day!!

Err... sorry. -.- ITS BAND-FAREWELL 09!!!! Now lift up both ur hands and wave them in the air!! Although its at the extreme end of Singapore, ppl who lived on the other extreme like Mark and luther seems unfazed by the long distance. Jurong point is the location and Pioneer Wharf is the restaurant. What seems like a restaurant for chinese weddings has been raided by teenagers with raging hormones and uncontrollable craziness for 3 hours. We showed so much overwhelming emotions that the older, senile people on the other side of the partition cried out in jealousy, lamenting on the fact that they are too old to relive the best moment of their lives.

Now comes the important part! Here are a list of people whom without which, 08/08/09 would never be so memoriable.

THANK YOU!

ALL JUNIORS

-for all the heartwarming and hilarious videos!

-for all the cool/nice/thoughtful/sweet/cute/lame/retarded/gay/porno presents!!

-for eating/shopping less so that you could pay the $40 to treat us!

-for the FREE FOOD!!!!

THE COMM

-for racking your brains out to organise this major event!

-for all the extra time spent to do the extra filming and editting!

-for spending extra $$ to buy the comm-to-comm gifts!

GUAN TENG and ZONG XIAN

-for being the next generation of the "ownage imba totally-off-the-chart-nice MWOS"!

-for masterminding this whole farewell!

Of course, apart from the normal people who always seem to take the spotlight in this kind of acknowledgements, here are a few special mentions that are worth noticing as well!

Pioneer wharf

-for the imba place and the imba food and the imba waitresses who don't understand english.

Gift-shop keepers

-for providing the totally random and retarded gifts there ever is. (ps giftshop keeper must be damn happy.)

mums and dads

-for giving birth to us on the exact year for us to be bandmates and for supporting us to join band. and of course, give us enough pocket money to pay for all the stuff that needs to be paid.

mums and dads of mums and dads

-for giving birth to daughters and sons who are attractive and resourceful enough to find and marry each other, which ultimately leads to us.

public transport drivers

-for providing us with the MRT and the BUS to go jurong point.

YOU!

-if you are reading this and are feeling grumpy that you haven't been, somehow, acknowledged. Here it is.

FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!

Hwa Chong Symphonic Band J2 Batch 08-09!!! =) =)

-for without whom, this farewell party would be meaningless

-for without whom, band pracs would be much less boring

-for without whom, juniors will lose all their inspirations (come on man, i'm sure at some point in ur band life, u look up to us xD )

-for without whom, hcband won't be hcband

k, enuff of the self-indulgence. Here's the serious part. J2s are officially 'disbanded'. Our 2, 6, 10 years of band life have officially ended, just like the full-stop that marks the end of this sentence. But the full-stop that ends that sentence cannot end our passion and ur love for music and for hcband. There is still much to say to one another, and there is still much to hear from each other.

Hopefully after today, we will still remember that there is this ill-ventilated room beside the girl's toliet that we used to go to every morning. Hopefully after today, we can still take some time off our insane mugging schedule and chill off together. Hopefully after today, we can still touch our instruments and produce music: good or bad, yaze or soft. Hopefully, someday, we can come together and do it all again.

Here's what we urge u to do. Pick up your phone, or sign into msn-messenger. Scroll through ur contacts. Is there someone u really want to talk to? Is there somebody whom u really want to know better but, still, don't have the chance? Is there something u really want to say to somebody? Be it a little 'thank you for being my sectionmate' or 'thank you for being my friend' or just 'thank you for being there'. We urge u to send a message to those whom u want to shout out loud to. We urge u to send a message to those whom u want to talk cock with. We urge u to send a message to plan the next mugging session. Whatever. If u got something to say, make sure its heard.

Okay! That sums up what we want to say. A bit draggy. But then, our last post lehhh... hehe. We want to take this opportunity to thank all of you: seniors, juniors, batchmates, friends, friends of friends, auntie, uncle, cat, dog, mouse, ants, lizards for making our 2 year so memorable. We hope we achieved what we are supposed to achieve, or what u expected us to achieve. In any case, we tried! =) We really want to give u all a big big hug. But then due to h1n1 issues, we can't do that. xD But the point is:

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!! =)

Here's wishing all J2s best of luck for A'lvls.

There's wishing all J1s best of memories in ur remaining jc life.

WE'LL MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Signing off, for the last time.

Truly yours, with a pat on the back

-Cynthia and Liangsai
